Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District (HEB ISD) is a K-12 public school district based in Bedford, Texas (USA).

The district serves the city of Bedford, most of the cities of Euless and Hurst, and small parts of North Richland Hills, Colleyville, Fort Worth, and Arlington.[4] The district operates nineteen elementary schools, five junior high schools, and two high schools.

HEB ISD offers "Edge" programs, which provide unique opportunities for students to develop skills beyond standard primary and secondary school curriculum. The district has been named one of the top four districts in the state and recognized for achievements in academics and student performance, music education, public relations practices, operating efficiency, and teacher salaries.

History

Bedford School class (1917)

Before the creation of the Hurst-Euless-Bedford school district, many schools and school districts served the area's education needs. Notable early schools included:

  • Bedford College (1882-1893) A private combined high school and junior college that attracted students from out of state. The quality of education dwindled and became more like a public elementary and secondary school before it burned down in 1893 amidst rumors of arson.[5]
  • Bedford School (1912-current) This two-story brick building was restored after a fire in January 1991 and houses the Bedford School Museum.[5]
  • Euless School (1913-1970) Another two-story brick schoolhouse, the cornerstone was laid for Euless School in 1913 (on the site of present-day South Euless Elementary). Beginning in 1934 the school served as a high school, until 1955 when a new high school was built and Euless School was renamed South Euless Elementary. In 1970, the original building was demolished and replaced by the current building.[6]
  • Mosier Valley School (1883-?) In 1949-1950, a local crisis centered on Mosier Valley School, as parents and school employees struggled against state law requiring racial segregation. Mosier Valley School was organized in 1883 as part of Evatt School District and met in buildings shared with Oak Grove Baptist Church. In 1918, the school moved into its own schoolhouse. The school was closed in 1949; the wooden frame building was in poor condition and still had no heating, lighting, or sanitary facilities. In June 1950, a federal judge ordered the Euless School District to provide a separate school for African American children. To comply, the district temporarily re-opened Mosier Valley School. By September 1951, classes were moved into a new brick building. In 1984, a historical marker was dedicated at the original location of the school.[7]

Combined districts

The Euless and Hurst school districts merged in 1955.[8] The combined district served 1,418 students[6] and grew to almost 2,300 students in the next two years.[5] In 1957, Lawrence D. Bell High School also known as L.D. Bell was founded.

In 1958, the residents of the Bedford School District voted to merge with the Hurst-Euless School District by 212 to 189.[1] (Similar attempts to combine the cities themselves have not succeeded.) The tri-city district served 3,116 students during its first year, including 68 high school seniors, at seven schools:[9] In 1958 a few more schools were built and are still serving as Pre-K-6 today, North Euless Elementary, and West Hurst Elementary. These two schools are still standing. In 1959, Harrison Lane Elementary and Shady Oaks Elementary were founded. Also,What is now Hurst Junior High(known as North Hurst at that time) was built.

Later that school year, North Euless Elementary opened and Pennington Field was completed. The next decade brought Oakwood Terrace Elementary (1962) Wilshire Elementary (1964), the current L.D. Bell High School campus (1965), Donna Park Elementary (1966), Midway Park Elementary (1967), Bell's Driver's Education Facility (1968), and in 1969 Trinity High School, Bell Manor Elementary and Hurst Hills Elementary.[9] Racial integration began in the summer of 1965 in a Head Start class.[5] HEB ISD desegregated in 1968.[8] The list of schools In HEB now and year established:

Bell High School(L.D. Bell)-1968 Trinity High School-(1968)


Events since 1997

In 1997, voters approved a municipal bond of $170 million, the largest bond package that the district has ever proposed. The package included nearly $50 million for technology alone, allowed major renovations at nearly all campuses, and funded the construction of the Pat May Center administration building. The District called River Trails Elementary (opened August 2002) a "bonus" from the bond; the school's $7.5 million construction was paid for entirely by interest and investment of the bond fund.[10]

HEB-ISD's grade configuration of elementary (K-6), junior high (7-9), and high school (10-12) differs from the most common alignment among school districts in Texas (K-5, 6-8, 9-12).[11] In September 2006, a task force of parents, teachers, and other district staff was created to study 10 possible grade configurations in anticipation of future growth. Their scientific opinion poll found that 80% of parents were either very satisfied or satisfied with the district's configuration; however, 68% of parents would support a district decision to change the configuration if the district believed it was best for students.[12] On June 19, 2007, the board of trustees unanimously approved the Grade Alignment Task Force's recommendation to keep the established grade configuration.[13]

Students in HEB ISD, as in all public schools in the state, take Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) tests each year, which are used to compare Texas schools and districts and record the quality of their educational output. In 2006-2007, the District's average scores for each subject (including all grade levels) were higher than the regional average and the state average.[3]

Programs

Curriculum programs offered are generally uniform throughout district schools. Core classes are increasingly being supplemented by "Edge" programs, which focus on providing unique opportunities for students to develop their skills to compete in the global job market.[15] These internationally-oriented electives have been recognized for the unique opportunities they offer to students.[16]

International Baccalaureate

The District has offered the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma program at both its high schools since fall 2002, graduating the first class of IB students in spring 2004. The program is the highest academic curriculum offered; students study six subjects in college-level classes that culminate in comprehensive exams or artistic portfolio assessments. HEB ISD was the first district in Tarrant County to offer the program[17] and is the only multi-high school district in Texas where all high schools have an IB program.[18]

Advanced Placement

Advanced Placement (AP) classes are offered at both high school campuses, with a Pre-AP curriculum available at the junior high school level. Students in AP courses, like IB, complete college-level work throughout the year and take tests in May; many universities will award college credit for high enough test scores. Students in AP classes are required to take the AP exam in that subject, and the district pays all test fees.[19]

Core Knowledge

A Core Knowledge-based curriculum has been offered at every elementary school in the district since 2005.[20] Core Knowledge curriculum covers a broad and consistent range of topics that include large amounts of culturally significant works, people, events, and concepts. Students in grades 7-8 at Central Junior High and Harwood Junior High also participate in Core Knowledge-based classes.[21] Hurst Hills, Wilshire, Spring Garden, and Meadow Creek elementary schools offer full-day tuition-based Core Knowledge Pre-Kindergarten.[22]

International Business Initiative

Beginning in the 2007-2008 school year, Hindi and Mandarin Chinese language classes will be offered at Central Junior High. HEB ISD will be the second school district in the nation to offer Hindi, and the first in Northeast Tarrant County to offer Mandarin Chinese.[23]

Spanish Immersion

Spanish Immersion is offered to English-speaking students entering first grade at Bedford Heights and Meadow Creek elementary schools with the goal of fluency in Spanish by completion of sixth grade. Classes attended by participants in the program – including math, science, and social studies – are taught in Spanish; English is studied and read at home. Students continue in the program throughout elementary school, and in the 2007-2008 school year, the first Spanish Immersion class will continue their studies in seventh grade.[24]

Suzuki Strings and Secondary Orchestra

Students at Bellaire, Hurst Hills, Lakewood, North Euless (starting 2007-2008), Shady Brook, South Euless, and Wilshire elementary schools can participate in orchestral instruction based on the Suzuki method. Beginning in the 2005-2006 school year, students could continue the program at Central Junior High.[25]

Dancing Classrooms

During the 2006-2007 school year, fifth-grade students at Bellaire, Midway Park, Shady Brook, Bell Manor, Shady Oaks, and Wilshire elementary schools participated in the pilot of a ballroom dance program called "Dancing Classrooms".[26] A survey conducted by the University of Texas at Arlington kinesiology program and the comments of staff at the elementary schools indicate that students who participated in the program experienced major improvements in self-esteem and social skills.[27] The following school year, the District began to offer Dancing Classrooms during physical education classes at all elementary schools.[28] HEB ISD and nearby Fort Worth Independent School District are among eight cities in the nation that offer the program, begun by Pierre Dulaine in New York City and made famous in the movies Mad Hot Ballroom and Take the Lead.[29]

Automotive Technician Training

The district has offered automotive technician training programs since 1971. In 2006, the program received certification from the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation for brake repair, electrical electronic systems, engine performance, and suspension and steering. The Automotive Collision Repair program has also been certified in Non-Structural Analysis/Damage Repair and Painting and Refinishing. These certifications are awarded after on-site evaluations of instruction, facilities, and equipment and are recognized by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.[30]

Inter-district transfers

"Schools of Choice" programs accept applications from students who live outside of Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD's boundaries; residents of the HEB area are given first priority. Students who are not residents must provide transportation and, for elementary programs, pay tuition.[31]

Schools and facilities

Trinity High School
L. D. Bell High School
Pennington Field

Students are assigned to elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools based on the location of their home but may apply to transfer to other schools if they would like to participate in certain programs. Six elementary schools split their graduates among more than one junior high schools; Central Junior High is the only junior high that splits graduates between the two high schools.[32] Unique among area districts, the two H-E-B high schools consists of Grades 10 through 12 (9th graders remain at the junior high level, but can try out and compete for high school activities such as football).

HEB ISD Board of Trustees (October 17, 2006)

The District is led by a Superintendent chosen by the Board of Trustees. The current Superintendent, Dr. Gene Buinger, joined HEB ISD in June 1999, after almost twenty years of previous experience as a superintendent.[41]

On January 27, 1964, the Board of Trustees replaced at-large elections with elections for designated positions.[42] The seven members of the Board of Trustees are elected in May to serve staggered three-year terms. They meet at least twice each month to discuss policy, bond elections and tax rates, approving district personnel, and governing the management of the District. During at least one board meeting each month, an Open Forum session is held, which invites public participation and comments similar to a town hall meeting.[43]

Board of Trustees[42]

  • Place 1 - Kay Miller (2003 – 2009)
  • Place 2 - Jeff Burnett (1997 – 2009)
  • Place 3 - Jim Schooler (2004 – 2010)
  • Place 4 - Ellen Jones (2001 – 2010)
  • Place 5 - Dr. Faye Beaulieu (1995 – 2010)
  • Place 6 - Andy Cargile (2008 – 2011)
  • Place 7 - Mark Cyrier (2005 – 2008)

Honors

The HEB ISD School Board of Trustees was the eighth Texas school board (out of 1,050) ever to be recognized with an award from the Texas Association of School Boards for Good Governance and "walking the talk", including voluntarily participating in and passing a governance audit, supporting a fiscally responsible school district, and undergoing school board training. [44]

Both of HEB ISD's high schools are ranked on Newsweek's 2007 list of the top 1,200 high schools in the country: L.D. Bell High School is listed 210th (4th highest in Tarrant County) and Trinity High School is listed 304th (6th highest in Tarrant County).[45] The rankings are based on the number of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate tests taken by graduating seniors.

SchoolMatch named HEB ISD a What Parents Want Award-winner for the first time in 1992 and again every year from 1994 through 2008. The honor is given to the top 16% of the 15,571 public school districts that SchoolMatch monitors, based on criteria compiled through over 97,000 parent questionnaires: academics, instructional expenditures, secondary-level programs, and more.[46]

In March 2007, Education Resource Group (ERG) named HEB ISD a "Best Practices" district and one of the top eight school districts in Texas. In August 2007, ERG named HEB ISD one of the top four school districts in the state based on 2006 data. The awards are based on a combination of student performance and operating efficiency.[47]

In 2007 and 2008, The American Music Conference (sponsored by NAMM) named HEB ISD one of the "Best Communities for Music Education". Applicant districts provided information about funding, enrollment, student-teacher ratios, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program, private music lesson participation, and more. [48]

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has awarded the District "Superior" ratings in the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) for six years in a row (2003-2008). These ratings are based on criteria including low administrative spending, low student-teacher ratios, and more. [49]

In October 2006, United Educators Association of Texas (UEA) presented to the HEB ISD Board of Trustees a special proclamation in honor of the Board's history of support for teacher salaries at all levels. Out of 32 school districts in the western Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area, HEB ISD ranked in the top three in every category compared (including teachers with a bachelor's or master's degree, and years of experience varying from none to 30).[50]

In March 2005, the District received the Lone Star Award for best public relations practices in the state from the Texas Public Relations Association, recognizing outstanding ethics and business operations when communicating with stakeholders.[51]
